Re: Rust proof covering
I'm using epoxy mastic on my old mini, from www.rust.co.uk. I am painting it on rather than spraying. First impressions are excellent, I would use it again. As the car isn't on the road yet, I can't comment on it's rust proofing qualities. I would recommend purchasing the plastic tubs to help you measure out the mixture and order plenty of them too as you can't re-use them.

Re: Rust proof covering
Like anything paint wise, it's important to ensure everything is clean. I purchased the ISOPREP IPA and give everything a clean getting into all the corners with a fine paint brush after prepping. This way I am confident there is no residual grease on the surface to have rust converter applied, before painting. It's not cheap, but the finish is rewarding.
